Tonight's photo has a fun story behind the way I got it. For years we met in someone's home for our Sunday School Class Christmas party. The year I received this cornhusk-style angel we met at Jeannie W's house. For years we had ornament exchanges...if you wanted to participate, you brought a wrapped Christmas ornament. We played various games over the years. The year I am referring to this time we played a type of Dirty Santa...where each participent was given a number and that number was in the "pot" three times, if I remember correctly, and when your number was called, you got to either choose a wrapped ornament or you could choose/steal an ornament that someone else had already unwrapped. This particular game can be quite time consuming and brings about many laughs and disappointed sighs when someone gets an ornament stolen from them that they really liked. There is usually an ornament or two that is quite coveted. And, this angel was one of those ornaments that changed owners several times during the game. I know that I got her and she got stollen from me and in the end my last number got pulled just before the end of the game and I got the prize...in other words, I stole this ornament in order to have her on my tree!!!! I think of that day and the person who gave her to me when I hang her on the tree each year. And, that person follows my blog...so...thank you, Brenda W., she is still being enjoyed all these years later! I have many angels on my tree so she is a part of that collection. I met a major goal today. I got my out-of-state packages mailed today and bought stamps so I can finish my cards. I am always so happy when that goal is met! I have been organizing things so I have room to work on cards again. I put away all the wrapping paper...so slowly the "things" that are gathered here in the family room so I can work on them are gradually being finished and what was needed for them is being put away. Still pretty much a jumbled mess on the card table and several TV trays...slowly but surely these things will be done and whisked away! Maybe in a couple of days I will be finished and get the room back to rights, again! 'Tis the season! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
